How to Make Herbal Facial Toner

Facial toners are used to condition, hydrate and soften the skin. They also may contain ingredients that will enhance skin tone and texture. Herbal toners are a favorite choice for those who prefer an all-natural, additive-free product, or by people who are sensitive to the components of commercial brands. Here is an herbal facial toner that can be easily made at home and used to enhance all skin types. It will gently disinfect and detoxify pores with tea tree oil and witch hazel to eliminate blemishes. The aloe vera gel will heal any existing damage to your skin’s cells. Peppermint oil will brighten your complexion and rose will moisturize and repair your skin with natural vitamin C. This mild but effective toner can be used every day and its positive benefits are cumulative.
